we're all dieing we're all going to die, and we generally don't know when and so I'd believe we are always fighting to live us just being in existence shows we struggled and do struggled to survive. so I don't think it really has anything to do with a terminal illness. she is alone. And I'd say all other interpretations spawn from that. She daydreams about a her loneliness, and about companionship, etc. Her loneliness saddens her, and may even cause her depression. it's something that makes her question existence, whether or not there is a point to her even getting out of bed, because she knows that no one will know, and that she will be going through this routine alone; and so is there a point? Is there a point to being some girl all alone, with no one to love, or no one to share life with? Is there a point to being a pretty flower, when you're stuck in some vase, unable to flourish and grow, taken out from the ground, placed away from all the other plants. Is there a point to being a slipper, a shoe which keeps a foot warm, when your lying next to a fireplace, and not only that, but you are alone, with no other slipper to the pair? Is there a point in being a cello, if you're lying in a case... I dunno it seems like to me it's all about her asking herself, "should I go on?" I wonder... |

(In reference to the talk of her meteorites and meteoroids mistake) "...And the use of the start and the cosmic imagery has a lot to do with the fact that my sister is an astrophysycist, and I wanted to express the idedas I was interested in with the song in not necessarily her language, because it would be awfully ignorant of me to think that I was speaking an astrophysicist's language, but at least I was taking a symbolic bow towards what she studies and the way her brain works." Joanna Newsom quote from some interview, makes me quite indeed think that she made the mistake on purpose. |
